all bald white men are skinheads.
... ... oh dear.
right, well since we are gonna be serious about this for a minute, i guess i'll but in my 2.625 cents.
design is probably the least racist profession. for us, it seems that skin pigmentation is not nearly as important as your dress and your grooming habits.
ive worked with the spectrum and ive seen lots of people turned away NOT because their work was bad or bc they were "racially incompatible" but because they wore wrinkled clothes.
race relations are unfortunatly still an issue in most professions (as is sex relations... not really meant as a pun, but good for that too). so yea. . . design firms are just as succeptible to racism as a construction company. but ya know what, even since i was a kid, things are 1000 times better in the general populace of the south. out with the old, in with the new. time, effort and attention are all that is needed.
so there. *smooch* i love you too. =P
